5 Biggest Percy Jackson S1 Problems Disney Must Fix In Season 2
The Disney adaptation is infinitely better than the movies, but there are still many things that frustrate fans beyond imagination — and they must be addressed.
5. Percy Jackson S2 Must Fix Its Structure And Pacing
Season 1 doesn’t feel like a TV show but rather like a check-list collection of scenes strung together with no real structure. Disney brought it upon itself by only giving each episode the laughable 30 minutes, so no wonder the pacing is so rushed and incoherent. Here’s to hoping Season 2 will be an actual series with a sense of time.
4. Percy Jackson S2 Must Fix Its Transitions And Cuts
Likely thanks to the same self-inflicted time limitations, the first season really struggled with scene transitioning. The black screen between the scenes in 2024, seriously? There are no ads there, what’s the point? Also, cutting from boarding the train immediately to the destination is just mauvais ton. Hopefully, that changes.
3. Percy Jackson S2 Must Have Actual Greek Mythology
The entire point of the Percy Jackson series is Ancient Greek mythology. Rick Riordan’s books hooked millions of young fans on it thanks to the countless legends and bizarre facts they revealed, and Season 1 of the show completely lacks all the mythos that made the books so attractive. Guys, that’s the one thing that matters!
2. Percy Jackson S2 Must Have Actual Mysteries
The anticipation and tension are key to the Percy Jackson series, and the show removed them completely in the first season. The kids always have all the answers in the first few minutes, and that just kills the mystery entirely. The Lotus Hotel, for one, was completely ruined by revealing the gimmick early. Season 2 must avoid it.
1. Percy Jackson S2 Must Be Fun And Quirky
The huge part of the original books’ charm was their goofiness. Season 1 took itself way too seriously in its desperate attempt to “reach older audiences,” but that’s not what Percy Jackson is about. In Season 2, the show must embrace its ridiculousness; following the books’ example, it can gradually grow more serious as the kids get older. That’s the way Riordan intended it, and it must be preserved.
